Belmont county. The Intelligence IS such
a moral paper that it could not publish a
t~elegraphie account of a railway horror In
which "a lady had alFher clothing torn
of" till a meeting of the stockholders was
held II ia so conservative that 1t waits
three days to print q personal, waning
the person named therein TO pOsltl'ely
identify himself to their reporters by some
Republican. Not long since the 81 Clairs-
Vile train ran of the track at Barton sta
ton. The next morning the REGISTER
contained the details obtainable- Inree
DAYS later the LateLigeaeeT, after making a
thorough investigation OF the matter,
stated that the REGISTER Is a lar, ana
that the train did not leave the track SIX
feet. but was only of five feet. This very
e~nterprising paper had after three days
investigation found that the REGISTER
missed their calculation one foot. Ihelr
Gayorite method, however, Is to walt Till
REGISTER news is copied by n OF the
| Rellaire dailies or the Ohio Valley NetrS and
then reprint and credit 10 these latter.
Their latest break is the printing OF the
following, clipped from the Ohio EdHey

Manager w. T. Graham, Of the Stand
ard mill, while cOnyersing with the Wees
man on Monday, was asked about the re-
port that the mill would revOlutionize
their output. He said There is no
truth whatever in the gushy statement
made to this effect in Thursdays REGIS
TER. Some of the employees who delight
in seeing 'stiffs' in the papers have sold
the reporter in great shape. The matter
was made entirely from whole cloth. II
We make any changes at any time | will
willingly tell you, but don't you believe
what the REGISTER said. Yates, the man
who that paper had reported had come on
TO make preparation for the new style OF
work, is matching with Charley kaut-
man. Weare making some improvements,
but will not change u output as stated.
The chestnut is only ten days old. ln
the first place, we acknowledge the matter
"eptirely from the whole cloth" and wish
to say that we got the cloth from a man
who owns as much of it as does w. T.
Graham, and has as much to say about
what disposition shall be made OF the cloth
as has Mr.. Graham. Again 1t is not ut all
probable that Mr.. Yates, 4 Thoroughly
practical sheet roller would come from
| Conshocken, Pa. to Bridgeport, leaving Il
rolling job at that place, to 90 on rs
hatcher under Charley Kaufman.

Judges decided that the affirmative had by
superior argument aud presentation carried
the point at issue.
The society paper, under the editorshlp
of Charles HOyle, contained considerable
valuable and interesting matter, including

subscriber of the REGISTER, and has train
cd his dog to take the paper from his place
of business to his home after he has read it
ill the morning. The other day while on
his way home the dog succumbed to the
natural impulse to play with other dogs on
the way and the result was that the paper

and received o sound thrashing for his mis-
conduct. The next morning he again
stopped to have some fun and the paper
was destroyed. Instead of going home
without a paper, he went into a neighbours
